Hi Don,
It's been proven that folks with higher IQs have better grammar and spelling than folks with lower IQs.
Since we use English to communicate on this forum, folks are judged by their ability to communicate to be reflective of their intelligence.
Even if someone's poor grammar and spelling is reflective of haste, or laziness, they still portray themselves as less intelligent than someone whose posts are grammatically correct, and how is clear, consise, and articulate.
I know a local man who is almost blind, yet still uses a computer regularly. He has a program that converts voice to text, and vice versa. That would also benefit someone who was dyslexic. A spell check program may also benefit a dyslexic user, by enabling them to put their thoughts into words that are understandable by other readers.
Written text is the only way we have to judge other forum users. If your dyslexia masks your intelligence, use your ingenuity to find a way to mask the dyslexia. That way, others will be able to grasp a better understanding of your intelligence.

The human mind has excellent cognitive abilities, and can decipher what that means. A translation program has no cognitive ability. That sentence would be totally incomprehensible to someone who uses a different language, and had to rely on translation programs.
Sadly, that is about how many of the posts appear to me too. Not because I am dyslexic, but because that's how the post was actually written. Your dyslexia may actually give you a helping hand in understanding other folks, because we aren't used to having to try to decipher everything we read. Your dyslexia may actually mask just how poor many of the posts are.
